Hello madam, from the history you have given, you need to consult your gynaecologist as early as possible, since bleeding since 3 weeks is a long period, it could decrease your haemoglobin levels....you may require a per vaginal examination and may also require the implant to be removed if necessary. ...hope i was helpful to you. ...
